Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers says there is no developments regarding his side's pursuit of Patrick Roberts.

The winger is currently with Manchester City at their training camp in Spain and it's looking increasingly unlikely he will join before tomorrow night's crunch clash against Astana.

Celtic remain in talks over a fresh loan deal and Roberts has made it clear he favours a return to Glasgow.

Roberts flew out his City team-mates Monday but Rodgers was showing little sign of angst hours before the 11pm deadline to add to his Champions League squad ahead of Wednesday's play-off first leg against Astana.

"But that only happens when you have two parties that are willing to work together to get the deal done."

Rodgers, who will have Leigh Griffiths fit against the Kazakhstan champions after the striker shrugged off calf injury worries, added: "We just have to be patient. I always trust the players I have and work to make them better.

"That's what we look to do to over these next couple of games - and if we can get anybody else in before tonight then great, if not then the players know I trust them."
